Publisher's Synopsis
In this book, Professor Hauerwas makes explicit many of the theological presuppositions that have been informing his past work.
He provides an overview of the development of theology and ethics. He considers for example how theology and ethics interrelate, the nature of sin, how any account of sin requires a more determinative account of moral law, the nature of sanctification, the body as a subject for Christian holiness, the relationship between sanctification and truthfulness. He explores many of the issues which are important for sustaining the account of the moral life which has been characteristic of his approach.
A challenging and original work by one of the foremost thinkers in Christian ethics today.
